and the elusive eland. The reserve is also one of the world's largest breeding grounds for
tortoises. Bird-watchers, too, will find many fine species to observe.

The majestic coastline offers drama worthy of being called "Nature's Greatest Show." We'll be
able to see the union of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (as per legend) and may even feel the
brisk wind that is dubbed the "Cape Doctor" for its presumed curative powers. Following the
coastline along False Bay, we'll return to Cape Town by way of Simon's Town, where we visit the
Penguin colony at Boulders Beach and Fish Hoek fishing village. Before our return, we'll stop at

here. Continue to join a sparkling tour, witness the art of diamond cutting and the careful
